This pizza is going to turn your Saturday into a wonderful and fabulous one.
It’s exactly what you all need right now,
An indulging bite,
A comforting and good bite,
A juicy and fun bite,
An enjoyable bite,
A warming and balanced bite.

Its baking technique was born a few years back when my tahini pizza was born,
Since then we have a lot of different pizzas in the blog,
Red lentil pizza, buckwheat pizza – you name it.

This technique was invented on Noi’s and my trip to Rome.
I saw all the magnificent types of pizzas there,
And the dough rolling techniques and realized there was another way to do it.
That you can make a good pizza from a mixture and not only out of dough.

We landed in the middle of the night and I went straight into the kitchen.
I just couldn’t wait until morning.
The bite from this pizza is one that will be remembered in my heart for years to come.

My oatmeal pizza can be based on plenty of flour types, so all that’s left for you to do is to choose.
I’ve specified the different types inside the recipe.
It could be lentil pizza,
Or quinoa pizza,
And even coconut pizza or chickpeas pizza,
Just pick the bite and the sky’s the limit.

A fun family recipe,
Suitable for both children and parents,
It keeps the balance,
It’s ready in just a few quick minutes,
And it’ll indulge everyone 🙂

Happy and exciting pizza days to us all 🙂

Oatmeal Pizza

Ingredients: Suitable for a round pizza 30*35cm (12” * 14”), can also be made in square shape 🙂

For the pizza dough:

• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons raw tahini
• ¼ cup non-dairy milk / regular milk / water
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (Not a must)
• ¾ cup oat flour (For alternatives, have a look at “A little extra From Me”)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup sesame for decoration (Not a must)

For the tomato sauce:

• 1 pack tomato paste (100g)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 garlic clove / ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano (Not a must but it adds a lot)
• ¼ cup non-dairy milk / regular / water
• 70-120g grated mozzarella / grated yellow cheese (You can choose any cheese you like)

Steps: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) on turbo mode and line two baking pans with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl put all liquid ingredients, eggs, olive oil, salt, raw tahini, milk and maple syrup and mix well until forming a smooth mixture.
3. To the bow add oat flour and baking powder and mix well until forming a uniform and smooth mixture.
4. Spray a little olive oil on the pan and pour our mixture on it. Flatten the mixture equally all through the pan no matter what shape we chose. Spread a little sesame on the pizza’s brim (Have a sneak peek at the photos).
5. Insert the pan into the oven for initial baking of between 5-7 minutes. We’ll know the dough is ready once it’s not sticky when touched.
6. Let’s make the pizza’s sauce: Put all ingredients in a bowl, tomato sauce, salt, garlic, dried oregano and non-dairy milk and mix until receiving a uniform and perfect tomato sauce.
7. Get the dough out of the oven, spread the pizza sauce on top of it and scatter the cheese and toppings (If you like- I recommend not overloading with toppings).
8. Insert the pan to the oven on the higher rack for another 12 minutes of baking. Take the pizza out of the oven only once the cheese is melted and gives in to the heat.

Take it out of the oven and eat while it’s still hot 🙂

A little extra from me:

• Can be kept in the fridge in a sealed box for between 4-5 days. I recommend heating up in a pan/ microwave / panini press using parchment paper.
• Any type of non- dairy milk can be used  / regular milk / water
• Oat flour can be substituted for almond flour / lentil flour / quinoa flour / teff flour / chickpea flour / coconut flour / green buckwheat flour.

• Maple syrup isn’t a must.
